BOARDED BY BANDITS.
A Texas Train Robbed Off Large AmOuns

Sunday morning, as the eastbound
Texas and Pacific express was pulling
out of Gordon, a small station sixty miles
west of Fort Worth, two masked and
armed men jumped on the engine and
covered the engineer and fireman with
their revolvers. The engineer was forced
to pull ahead until the train reached #
high trestle two miles east of Gordon,
AS soon as the engine and baggage and
mail car had passed over the trestlc, the
train stopped leaving the passenger
coach on the trestIe At this point the
masked men were reinforced by six as
sistants. The robbers then went through
the express car, taking all the money and
valuables in the safe, the amount being
estimated at from 81, 900 to $4,000, al
though the Pacific express officials re-
fuse to state the exact amount stolen.
The robbers then proceeded to the mail
car, where they obtained twenty eight
registered packages. The passengers
were not disturbed, and their coaches
being on high trestle they could not
get out to assist the train men. There is
no clue to the robbers.

THE RIDE TO DEATH.
Four Tramps Hnrned Co Death In Locked
Freight Car.

AS a special freight train of nineteen
cars, loaded with cotton was pulling into
Paducah, Ky, on the line of the Chesa-
peak, Ohio and Southern railroad Mon
day, one of the cars was discovered to be
on fire. 1t had been taken on ard locked
at Memphis, being transferred from the
Louisville, New Orleans and Texas rail-
road at that point. The engineer backed
on the side track and the crew endeav-
ored to extinguish the flames with hose
attachments. All they succeeded in doing,
however, was to prevent the fire from
spreading to other cars. While removing
the debris Of the burned car, four dead
bodies, charred beyond recognition, were
discovered. They are supposed to have
been tramps. Whether white or black it
is impossible to say. The car was locked
at Memphis, but the men must have en-
tered to their horrible fate through
window in the end, which could have.
been opened from the outside.

CHILDREN UNDER WATER.
Ten Minutes Under Water and are Rescued
Alive at Last.


A sewer quarter of a mile in length,
running under Niagara Falls Ont, forms
part Of the bed Of Muddy Run creek,
which, during thaws in winter, is swol-
len into a rushing river Of large volume,
which empties itself into Niagara river
over the precipice near the whirl pool
rapids This river was running fifteen
miles an hour Saturday evening, when
Bertha Farrell, aged four years, who was
seated in hand sled, slid into it. Her
sister Blanche, aged ten, jumped in after
her, and both were swept into the river
A rush was made for the other end Of the
sewer, and men secured by ropes, jumped
into the water and waited for the chill
dren to appear. Bertha came first, under
the water, and Blanche followed on top
Wien taken out both were apparently
hfeless, but after much difficulty both
were resuscitated. The children were in
the water ten minutes, most Of the time
submerged.

The President has sent the following
message to congress:
To the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives As matter of national interest,
and one solely within the discretion and
control of congress, l transmit the ac-
cOmpanying memorial of the executive
committee of the Unconstitutional cen
tennial commission, proposing to cele-
brate, on the 18th of September, 1887, III
the city of Philadelphia, rs the day upon
which and the place where the conven-
ton that framed the Federal constitution
concluded their labOrs and submitted the
result for ratification to the thirteen
states then composing the United States.
The epoch was one of the deepest interest
and events worthy of commemoration. /
aln aware that as each state acted indie
pendently in giving its adhesion to the
new constitution, the dates and anliver-
saries of their several notifications are not
coincident, so action looking to national
expression in relation to the celebration
of the close of the first century of popu-
lar government under the written consti-
tuition has already been suggested, and
whilst stating the great interest | share
in the renewed examination by the Amer
lean people of the historical foundation
Of their government, / do not fee! war
ranted in discriminating in favor Of or
against the propositions to select one day
or place in preference to all others and
therefore, content myself with convey
ing to congress these expressions of pop
ular feeling and interest upon the subject,
hoping that in a spirit of patriotic coop
Grafton, rather than of local competition,
fitting measures may be enacted by con-
gress which will give the amplest oppor-
tunity all over these United States, for a
manifestation of the affection and the con-
fidence of free and mighty nation in the
institutions Of the government, of which
they are the fortunate inheritors, and
under which unexampled prosperity has
been enjoyed by all classes and c0ndi-
tions in our social system.

A LESSON OF THE INTERSTATE LAW.

In the trouble between the Canadian
Pacific Railway and its San Francisco
connecting steamship lines, the folly of the
interstate commerce bill has been forcibly
illustrated. Under the strict construction
of the fourth section, for which the car
riers by water, and the non-terminafpoints
clamored, the Canadian road was able to
take transcontinental freight to and from
San Francisco and through a foreign ter
ritory in spite of the American roads. No
one was benefited except the foreign
carrier. Under the more liberal construc-
ton intimated by the Commission, and
plainly given by Judge Deadly, the home
lines have been enabled to resume hauls
at through rates. Immediately the bust
ness of the foreign road falls off until its
connecting water link with San Francisco
is now unable to operate at the competitive
rates. Yet the interior, or non-terminal
points, during these two stages, reaped no
new benefits. Indeed, they suffered by the
general disturbance of the commercial
equilibrium. They have been shown the
truth so clearly that none can mistake,
that in fixing rate for carriage to nor
competitive point, the through or competi-
tive rate is not an element, and cuts nc
sort of figure, except, that as the through
business engages the surplus energy of a
carrier, it enables him to give way places
better service.

contemporaries. If our contemporary, the
Cal, for instance, has at any time pre-
sented the issue so clearly as TO give the
position of the Court fully, we have failed
to see it. The presumption must be that
, the Federal Courts construe the Restric-
! ton Act, or any other "Act" before them,
with the view of making it effective. 1t is
violence we are unwilling to do Court to
hold against the presumption that its adj
ministration is in obedience to the
law, and sound. We repeat that it must
be assumed that the Federal Courts are
correct in their rulings, until they have
been reversed by competent authority.
None can more earnestly desire the en-
forcement of the Restriction Act and the
exclusion of the Chinese than the RECORD
UNION. Its endeavor has uniformly been
in that direction. But it has not seen
reason for animadversions upon the Fed
eral Courts such as have characterized the
San francisco press in its comments upon
the habeas corpus cases. The presumption
must be entertained in behalf of the Fed
eral tribunals, in landing Chinese upon
writs of habeas corpus, that the law of the
land not only justifies but commands it.
Any other presumption does violence to
the estimate we place upon the honesty
and intelligence of the Federal Judiciary

THE COURTS AND THE CHINESE.

The San Francisco Call of yesterday
SAYS:
The .REcoRD-UsIoN is so candid and intelli.
gent journal that we are surprised to find in an
editorial the following concerning the landing
process:
"a great deal of harsh criticism of the Federal
Couits is INDUCED in by the press, but the prob.
ability is that il is all unjust; that the Court is
helpless in the matter, and bound 10 accept the
proofs made before il. The difficulty lies in the
frauds perpetrated in the matter of certificates
large majority of the Chinese landed by the
nabeas corpus process do not present certificates
lhey are landed on other evidence than eertifi-
Gates, III direct defiance of the Restriction Act
IN eases where the Chinese present certificates
which do not " fit the Act makes the Custom
house the judge of the fact whether the appli-
cant who presents the certificate has a right
under the law to land. The Courts have no
other authority in the matter than that arising
from their general power to issue wits of ha,
heass corpus when person claims to be re-
strained OF his liberty. But g Chinaman held
under the Restriction Act is not restrained OF
his liberty in any proper sense OF the Term he
is simply restrained from violating law of the
United States. he is at liberty 10 do anythir 9
but what the law ceclsres that ne shall not do.
The Court, as we all know, claims the right to
land Chinese il defiance of the Restriction Act,
under the treaty provision that Chinese in the
country at the GATE OF the treaty may go and
come at will Congress provided for their going
ami coming, authorizing the Custom house to
issue certificates which were declared 10 be the
sole evidence of the right of Chinese laborel
to land.

AN uNANs wERABLE ARGUMENT

Ii has been the favorite argument OF
the friends of hydraulic mining that its
stoppage meant the death of all mining
Industry in California; that the State
was to be absolutely shorn of its millions
of income from mining by the inlunctions
placed upon hydraulic mines, and that the
loss would not be compensated by the pre-
seryations of the rivers and the menaced
and invaded valley lands
Let US see how the facts, illustrated by
the figures, conclude the whole question
and effec;ually end the plant that the
mining industry in California is being
killed.
4 dispatch elsewhere published states
that the forthcoming Government reports
viii show that the gold yield Of California
not on Y did not decline, but astuallv in
creased in 1885 over the yield of 1884.
Turning to the official report of Mr..
Blrehard, Director of the Mint, upon the
production of the precious metals in the
United States during the year 1888, we
find IN that wear the total production of
gold in California to have been
sl4.i20000. The forthcoming report
will show that in 1886 it was SO, 72o, 600,

a COMPARISON OF CONDITIONS

While temperate sun and invigorating
breezes, cool nights and delightful morn
ings prevail in California, the people of
the Atlantic coast are sweltering beneath
intense heat, and scores perish before the
scorchlng rays of the sun. In this dry at
mosphere the degree of heat which kills
in more humid sections causes little incon-
venience. A death from genuine sunstroke
Is really unknown in California a few
deaths have been recorded from overhead
under exercise in the blaze of the summer
sun, but no death has ever taken place in
California from excessive heat unaccom-
panied by undue exercise The sultry
night is exceedingly rare with us and
never very oppressive; however warm the
day, nature gives her children here restor-
atives IN the dark and the early hours.
But on the hottest days in California,
and they are few, there never is more than
Inconvenience and of temporary char
acter; never actual suffering such as is
known under the blazing sun and in the
sultry atmosphere of the East in e hot
SPELL
We are between the same parallels of
latitude as the sections now afflicted by
torrid heat on the Atlantic side, vet the
Isothermal relations of the two sections
are such that we escape extreme heat and
excessive cold, while our friends on the
o.her side suffer from both.
The citation of these facts is not in the
mere spirit of boasting, though that is JUS
titiahle, but for the purpose of verifying
the claims made of the equability of the
California climate Very much more than
most people suppose, the belief is enter
tanned at the East that Californians grossly
exaggerate in reciting the natural adj
vantages of this State. Indeed. it is a
prevalent belief there that few years
residence in this State lessons the moral
sense of the virtue of truth-telling, and
dulis the conscience TO the meanness of
drawing the long bow. Discreet Califor-
mans returning eastward generally reduce
their statements concerning this State and
IFS natural advantages by about 80 per
cent, that their reputation for veracity
may not suffer among incredulous friends.
The diffusion Of true knowledge con-
eernlng California and its climate and pro-
.duction IS not nearly so general at the
East as We are apt to fancy, or as it should
be and must be, in order TO secure for the
tate the confidence of the Eastern peo-
pie California is very small part of the
nation = less than one-sixtieth of the
8 'eat population on the other side of the
Rocky Mountains. Important in our own
estimation, we are apt to ignore the fact
that the vast industries and concerns at the
East engage attention there to degree
that leaves but little room for studious con
sideration of Caifornia's claims. When A
season of great heat or excessive cold af-
tfiets our Eastern brethren, comparison
with our own favored condition is very
much more likely to command attention
and produce a profound impression, and
we should not fail, therefore, to improve
these orlnortnnitias

or an increase of S5,600,000 in three years
The total gold production in the United
States in 1888 was S30,000000; in 1886 it
was S34,869,000 or an increase of 1861
O00.. AS California's increase was more
than five and half millions alone, it fol-
lows that the whole gain is to our credit,
and that we made up besides for por-
ton of the falling off in other States and
Territories.
While in 1888, when hydraulic mining
had been stopped in but few instances,
our percentage of the total gold yield of
the United States was AZ plus in 1886,
when hydraulicking was at an exceeding
low ebb, as it still is, our per cent. of the
total yield of the United States was Sc
plus. 1t is true, had hydraulic mining
continued uninterruptedly the gross yield
would have been considerably greater, but
it would not have nearly compensated for
the injury done to the rivers, to commerce,
to valley lands, and the decline of valley
industries inseparable from withdrawal of
confidence of capital. Very much of the
energy heretofore manifest in hydraulic
mining has been turned to quartz working,
and not a little to drift mining.
While it is thus proved conclusively that
the stoppage of hydraulic mining has not
killed off the mining industry as was pro-
phesied, it is also established that our
mining development is but just beginning
The new processes of milling now renders
rock available for pay that formerly was
wholly rejected; capital that found poor
investment on the Comstock is taking hold
of the California quartz mines, and devel-
oping them with wonderful rapidity. Ne
vada and Amador counties, that in 1888
yielded but S4,500,0O0 of gold, will yield
in the present year not less than $1,000
900 or SS,000,000 of gold. California's
yield in 1886 was nearly $2O,00O,OO0, but
we venture the forecast that for 1887 it
will be nearer 10000, 900 than the former
figure
